Tho Trrtilo Dollar.
Editor Carhox Advocate: Will you bo
kind enough to give us your views on the
subject of the trade dollar?
Our postmaster Insists upon paying money
order 111 trade dollars simply becnuse hctal.es
them or a dollar but if we wont tn deposit
them in the First National Bank of Leblgh
ton of which ho (the p. in.) is a director we
are only nllowed ninety two cents for tlicm.
So long as tho banks received them for ft
dollar wo did not complain, but wo cannot
submit to n discount of 8 cents between the
lowns of Weismrt nnd Lchighton.
Wo have no fault to find with tho Banks,
for ns wo understand the matter, they can
refuse to take them except nt Ibis valuation.
The trade dollar is Hot a legal tender, nor is
it authorized as a circulating medium by
our government It is in merchantable ar
ticle, and If they can't realize Inoro than 00
or 02 cents for It that is nil it is woith.
Neither tho banks or postmasters have any
right tn insist upon a customer taking a
trade dollar at ony price.
Our Postmaster who lias n stole In con
nection with tho oflico might with the same
propriety insist upon paying money orders
in btltter nnd eggs, bconupo ho trades for
these articles at a fixed valuation not by
tho government however, but by himself.
Now, we think It is well for him to under
stand this, before he makes up his mind lo
pay us in whatever he may hare the most of,
and insist upon our taking that, whatever it
be, trado dollars or dry goods, instead of
giving Us what wo have a right to demand,
U. S. funds. If he takes trade dollars in his
business anil hlscuslomcrs take theniof him,
ho has a perfect right to do so, but ho don't
know that ho has no right to insist upon It
and that this so called trade dollar is not
a legal tender. We think it lime somo olio
had enlightened him Upon tho subject.
By giving tliis your attention, you will
confer 11 favor, wo think, upon tho public
generally, who do not nppenr to have a prop
er understanding of what n trndo dollar is.
Yours, etc., L. E. Wills, Trcas.,
L. V. E. W. Co., Wcissport Pa.
Aug. 30. 1878..
Tho following article which wo clip from
the Philadelphia Times will fully elucidate
to tho Weissport P. M. what the value
nnd nature of tho trade dollar is, and W3
therefore commend it to his attention !
There is a surprising amount of ignorance
among thoso who should be well informed
in regard to the character of tho trade dol
lar, and some of the newspapers complain
because tho Treasury Department will not
redeem this coin nt par. It ought to bo
known that the trade doilnr is not money
and never was intended to be. It was not
designed as a circulating medium, but only
a-, i. vojivi-iui-iib lorm 111 wnii-ii 10 cxjKjn
bullion, and it was not issued by Iho gov
ernment, ns other coins nre, but simply
stamped for the owners of the bullion, pre
cisely ns silver bars nro stamped, each picco
ucing marked wun its exact weight nlid
fineness. The reiwrt of the Director of tho
Mint, which led to tho authorization nf the.
trado dollar, niter recitine tho requirement
. . - - . . r: . " a
of trade witli China and Japan, recommends
n new coin or disk, which shall btl slinht-
ly moro valuable thnn the Mexican dollar,
to bo made only on the rcqilcrt of tho owner
ol tho bullion and to bo paid for by hlin,"
ami nuas :
It is not proposed lo mako the now coin
or disk a legal tender in payment of debt,
but simply a stamped ingot, with its weiglii
and fineness indicated. Its manufacture
can therefore in 110 wise givo riwj to any
complication with our monetary sy5tctn,and
iieuiicr 111 iiivory ur principle Ullier in nny
rcsiiect from tho manufacture of unnarted
or refined bars now authorised by law, ex
cept in beingofuiiiform Weight nlid fineness.
Upon recommendation tho trndo dollar
wns authorised in the coinage net of 1873.
By what was plainly a piece of carelessness
or ilifldvcrtauccj it Was included in tho list
of subsidiary roilis named in thesamo net 03
legal tender in sums not exceeding live dol
lars, nnd the error wns corrected by stibse
nuent legislation, nnd so few of the trade
dollars had circulated in tho United Slates
prior to 1870 that they can hardly bo said
to have entered at nny time into the autho
rized currency. As silver depreciated in
value, the exportation of these stampcrddisks
became unprofitable, and the owners of bul
lion took advantage of tho temporary and
fictitious demand for a silver dollar, Which
they had succccedcd in creating, nnd of
tho resemblance of tlicso coins to real
dollars, to put a largo number of them into
circulation, exchanging them at tho rato of
one hundred cents, though they wero worth
little more than ninety. Of courso it was
not possible to corry this on very far. Itwas
soon found that trade dollars were not
dollars at all, but only pieces of silver
Whicli wero Worth no more than the
market value of tho bullion, nnd people
refused to receive them, except as "chango"
in small amounts, As a consequen a
f;rcat many people have stocks of silVer
eft on their hands, and they raise n howl
because the government will not buy it from
them for moro than it is worth. The gov
ernment has 110 more to do with this than
it has with the stocks of Wheat or oil or
Wood, that have equally depreciated in price.
The trade dollars nro simply merchandise,
nnd tho only tiling to do with a stock of
them is to sell it for what it will bring or
hold it for a rise.
'The l'nchcrton Schools.
Eh. Cabuon Advocats, Dear Sir: In
your Inst week's edition there was an article
under the head of rackerton Ripples, Writ
ten by " Anon," relative to the Packerton
School Directors, etc, anil another sometime
ago, rclativo to tho nppolntcd leachers, ns
for myrcif, I know "Anon," and his ripples
ill your vaiuauie jKijicruonoi annoy me lir;,
do they keep mo from a good night's, rest.
Tho Direetor? I guess, nro constantly '.opt
on the look out by the many and strong
Warnings given by "Anon." B-.,tfor Hie
rirotection of our faithful teae'.iers I write
lie following, First, touching on the reap
pointed teachers not being tatislaotory to
the citizens, I would like to know who the
citizens are? I am inclined to think that
" Anon" cjJIs himself the rlllneni, or else
the pcoj.lo do not make their complaints
known to the .Board, of Controller., and
otherwise ttioy will not bo nttcndej too, last
rear mere wns ortiy ono complaint brought
before part of tho Board;and after InveJig.
ting the niatler.it amounted to nothing more
than a ohild's play, havina had thire (3)
teachers and only ono complaint, (and that
of no account,) In a term of nino () months
J think Vrtij doing to well, I bat we havohad
cyery ronton lo reappoint our old teachers,
Jt Is very difficult fur Direotors lo run a
school district to iliit nud pleaso cVery one,
and inure diflleuU ta get teacher to suit
every citiien. and if lAnon" thinks hit
going for tho dircetois, In the style ha does
through paiiers. do him or the District any
good ho will find himself greatly mistaken,
for very Utile attention will be paid to his
finding fault in that manner, but if he has
anything to ray, nnd will brills hiioom
plsints before the hoard, Instead ol running
into print, the matter no doubt will receive
prompt nltcntlon, otherwise ho will surely
find his labor and time spent In vnin.
Ho also found fadlt because the children
were not so far advanced ns he thinks they
should hnvo been, How docs he know? Ho
did not visit the schools when they opened
nor did ho when they closed. Now how
ran he tell where they started or ended T
All he can tell about the advancement is in
Ids own child, slid surely she is n riood and
clear case to judgo and go by. " Allbn"
told mo personally, Hint shedidnotadvenMl
ns fur ns she did the previous year undcl'
fomo other lenchcr, but he should tnke both
sides In consideration, nnd not blnme tho
directors and teachers. Why didirt"Anon's"
child advance ns far ns sho did the previous
term 1 simply becnuse she went to school ono
day nnd Hayed out the other, thereby get
ting four nnd half (-lj) months schooling
out of n ulna months term, would'nt he bo
going for the Board of Controllers, If they
would reduce tho term from nino (0) months
to four nnd half (4i) months, there would bo
no letting up, but ns it is, wo havo n nino
months term nnd the children, of course,
need only nttend half tho time, but the ad
vancement is looked for, same as if they
would have attended every dny of tho term.
It is nlwnys difficult for tho teachers nnd
directors to ndvnnco scholars without tho
co-operation of the parents, but if " Anon"
considers co-operation to mean that a scholar
need only attend half of tho term,niid when
ever n child is just ly punished for the parent
to nt once without investigating the matter,
use such language, as they will see if they
can't put a stop to it, their children do not
desei va such treatment, ic., Ac. We havo
heard ityihd failed in advancing our scholars.
Now I would propose to our good peoplo
that wo givo " Anon" a chnnco to put his
ideas into practice, they arc so far in ad
vance of any thing I hnvo henrd of, nnd I
nlu sure If they had been known prior to Ilia
election n year or moro ngo, ho ccrtnlnly
would not have beendcfcatedatthcelection.
He hns been n teacher where or when, I do
not know, but he knows just how schools
should bo conducted, nnd I would fay give
him n chance, he can ndvnnco tho children
without attending school nnd without in
flicting nny punishment, once moro I say
mnko Ti i m monarch of all ho will be hnppy ,
nnd our school will prosper. Alhia.
